Gingrich plans brutal Mitt Romney attack

The campaign of former House speaker Newt Gingrich put out the transcript for an ad that has yet to air, using former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s words from Thursday night’s debate.
Romney, who had a good night overall,
did struggle a bit during Thursday’s debate. This ad targets

Romney on
two points of contention: his vote for a Democrat in the 1992
presidential primary and his claim that he hadn’t seen one of his own
attack ads.
The transcript:

Governor Huckabee: “If a man’s dishonest to get a job, he’ll be dishonest on the job.” (Source)

Narrator: What kind of man would mislead, distort, and deceive just to win an election?

This man would be Mitt Romney. Romney said he has always voted Republican when he had the opportunity.

But
in the 1992 Presidential Primary Romney had the chance to vote for
George H.W. Bush or Pat Buchanan but he voted for a liberal Democrat
instead. (Source)

Romney said his investments in Fannie and Freddie were in a blind trust.

But
as reported in the National Journal, Romney earned tens of thousands of
dollars from investments NOT in a blind trust. (Source)

Romney
denied seeing a false ad his campaign used to attack Newt Gingrich. But
Romney’s own campaign paid for the ad. ... Romney’s own voice is on the
ad approving the content. (Source)

If we can’t trust Romney in a debate, how can we trust him in the White House?
